Random Shots

Here are a few random shots taken here in Kyoto:

 Nijo-jo Castle


 Kimono fashion show in the textile district.


 Count your calories as you climb the steps out of the subway.



 Not all Kyoto's buildings are ancient temples.  This is the huge, modern Kyoto Station which services trains, subway, and buses, not to mention shopping, restaurants, food courts, and other businesses.  There are also observation areas on the upper floors with nice views of the surrounding city.

 Detail on a temple gate.


 A beautiful sub-temple at Nanzen-ji.  Note the blooms starting on the tree (probably plumb).


 Choose your dinner at this restaurant.


 The restaurants here have mastered the art of food display, including this frozen wave of fried rice.



 A book, a computer, and two cats - what more could a guy ask for?


Ginkaku-ji, aka The Silver Pavilion.
